Overview: This book is devoted to the PSI method. Its appearance was a reaction to the unsatisfactory situation in applications of optimization methods in engineering. After comprehensive testing of the PSI method in various fields of machine engineering it has become obvious that this method substantially surpasses all other available techniques in many respects. It has now become known that the PSI method is successfully used not only in machine design, at which it was initially aimed, but also in polymer chemistry, pharmacy, nuclear energy, biology, geophysics, and many other fields of huma

Overview: Research monograph for researchers and graduate students in Mathematics and Mathematical Physics.Most comprehensive work about the topic.Use of technique, developed by the author during more than 40 y.The prime goal of this monograph, which comprises a total of five volumes, is to derive sharp spectral asymptotics for broad classes of partial differential operators using techniques from semiclassical microlocal analysis, in particular, propagation of singularities, and to subsequently use the variational estimates in “small” domains to consider domains with singularities of different

Overview: In an increasingly mobile world with mounting concerns about the states‘ control of borders and migration, passports and citizenship rights matter more than ever. This book asks what citizenship ceremonies can tell us about how citizenship is understood through empirical research in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia, the Netherlands and Ireland.978-1-349-43415-2978-1-137-00321-8Series ISSN 2947-6100 Series E-ISSN 2947-6119

Overview: Internationale Vergleichsstudien deuten darauf hin, dass eine F?rderung mathematisch besonders begabter Schüler*innen nicht immer optimal gelingt; eine m?gliche Ursache dafür k?nnen Schwierigkeiten bei ihrer Identifikation sein. Moritz Zehnder untersucht in der vorliegenden Arbeit daher, welche mathematischen F?higkeiten Indikatoren für eine besondere mathematische Begabung in den Jahrgangsstufen 9 und 10 darstellen. Im Anschluss an eine Kl?rung des Begabungsbegriffs leitet er fünf potenziell auf eine besondere mathematische Begabung hinweisende F?higkeiten ab, deren Eignung als Indi

Overview: The interplay of host and virus represents one of the most significant frontiers in biology today.Provides a clearer understanding of the mechanisms involved to arm us with better strategies to deal w.This book is an excellent, up-to-date reference on a relatively young area of research in which virology, cellular biology and molecular pathogenesis govern the principles of coinvestigation. Thus, the book will be of great interest to virologists, molecular immunologists and biologists, and biochemists but also to clinical pharmacologists in the long-term search for new antiviral agent

Overview: Explains systematic mathematical procedures for detecting and correcting latent system flaws.Positions system safety engineering (SSE) as an early design-phase function rather than an afterthought.TreThis graduate-level textbook elucidates low-risk and fail-safe systems in mathematical detail.? It addresses, in particular, problems where mission-critical performance is paramount, such as in aircraft, missiles, nuclear reactors and weapons, submarines, and many other types of systems where “failure” can result in overwhelming loss of life and property. The book is divided into four pa

Overview: Materiality and Space focuses on how organizations and managing are bound with the material forms and spaces through which humans act and interact at work. It concentrates on organizational practices and pulls together three separate domains that are rarely looked at together: sociomateriality, sociology of space, and social studies of technology. The contributions draw on and combine several of these domains, and propose analyses of spaces and materiality in a range of organizational practices such as collaborative workspaces, media work, urban management, e-learning environments, m
